i dont think a horse has to be ridden a certain way, english or
western, just because of breed.  I guess you would say I ride english
because I like to direct rein and I like a saddle with no horn, but
when I trail ride after a while I will relax and neck rein.  Then when
the horse gaits, even trots, I direct rein again.  But I have never
been formally trained to ride and just ride the way I ride,  the
saddle is just that I have a preference for no horn, the direct
reining is just that I have found my horses gait better when i sit a
certain way and direct rein.  altho I ordinarily ride with not much
rein contact even when they gait.  anyway :)
